That's a nice box of goodies, the fun with these is sometimes the things you can't see until you take delivery. Those humble ramps are a very nice find.

Hi Dave, sorry I'm late with this. The little red Lotus Ford Grand Prix car and the Mk1 Ford Escort look like the breakfast cereal kits from Mexico. These were presented on sprues like the 'R & L' Kits marketed by Petrol companies in the UK.

They were available during the 1970's, so appear to have been made pretty close to when the original models (the Corgi Rockets Ford Escort), were being made. The Grand Prix car is one of 20 from that range, the Ford I am not sure, but other sports car subjects were also made.

Thank you! you have nailed the lotus,i would agree the escort is the same maker,i have seen the escort for sale twice before but couldn,t remember any details ,the car is from the 1970 mexico rally so could explain the maker a bit,heres a site i stumbled onto, a huge amount of info on plastics,corgi figures info is interesting. http://smallscaleworld.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... chive.html

Unfortunately I can not view the Small Scale World website because White letters on Black backgrounds give me a sight problem, that can trigger a Migraine, so thank's for the link, someone else will have to look on my behalf!

I am not familiar with the Moko Prime Mover and Trailer.
I'd live to see a photo showing the whole ensemble or a link to a reference site.
Thank you

Last of the diecast,a varied british line up,followed by an unknown tipper

[Ewan]

I've noticed a few of these tippers on ebay lately - are there any markings at all? Looks a wee bit like a Scania to me.
